It's about 20 minutes before dawn and the Lake Michigan break wall at Grand Haven, Michigan is lined with salmon fisherman. However I am here camera's in hand, for that distant steamboat on the lake with a cargo of cement powder from Charlevoix. The 1906 built St. Marys Challenger was the oldest operating steamboat on the Great Lakes at the time . . . . September 28, 2012.

when he looks at me this way.. I am ready for all challenges he can think of.

The Challenge was take a photo of a memorial, all the ones I thought of were understandably in use this week with D Day 75 so I took a photo of a memorial seat in a churchyard (zoom in to see the plate) I don't know whether this is a British thing or everyone has them. we get them on the seafront still being decked with flowers. but I liked this peaceful one under a tree.

 

My thanks to all who visit and comment

The post processing on this image helps to remove a lot of the snow obscuring the aircraft and background but I basically could not see it until it was over the numbers. It didn't help that it's a white airplane.

The Challenge At Noshinima's Neighborhood: The City Block

 

This is the third of my challenges taking place at my brand new, bigger parcel, also named Noshinima's Neighborhood. This setup was a nightmare to work on, and after weeks of work and a lot of lindens spend, I have finally came up with a new challenge for all of you and it is now ready for visitors. This is a new concept I am showcasing on my Flickr, where I challenge 50 great artists to do a photo shoot in the backdrop I created at my home sim.

 

For the third challenge, I created a large New York style city block, complete with all the different types of retail store outlets you would find at in your typical downtown stroll along downtown. There are clothing stores, supermarkets, pizzerias flower shops and all types of different settings that can be potentially found in just one city block. This also comes with a fairly realistic street view complete with cars and trucks. I am challenging the names tagged in this post to do a shoot within my city block anywhere they like and however they like.

 

Rules and details:

 

1) I (Noshinima Midas) tag 50 names of great photographers on Second Life. Said photographers that choose to participate in the challenge can come over to my parcel, Noshinima's Neighborhood (link below) and do an image anywhere in my city. You will be allowed two hours to use any posestands or props that you would like to add and are allowed to bring any friends you want to join you in your shoot. You are also allowed to make the shoot as safe or as adult as you like. The only rule is that you do the shoot within the city block. Take your time to have a look around to see where in the block would make a great place for your image.

 

2) Upload the finished image onto Flickr and place the hashtag #NoshsHoodChallenge3 on either the title or the description.

 

3) YOU MUST TAG 10 PEOPLE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE TAKE THIS CHALLENGE ON YOUR UPLOAD OF YOUR SHOOT! NO MORE, NO LESS! I have had several people during previous challenges that have not followed this simple rule so I am making it ALLCAPS to get the point across. Link them to this post and explain the rules to them as well. They must also tag 10 of their friends that they would like to see do this challenge if they themselves choose to participate as well. You must tag people that are actual active photographers on Second Life. Tagging pages dedicated to advertising a store, tagging real life photographers and tagging empty profiles does not count and is against the rules. Also, although you are permitted to do this if you desire, tagging me and tagging yourself will not count towards the number of 10 photographers you are tagging.

 

I am available every day. If anyone has any questions, comments or would like help in their shoots, be sure to contact me on Flickr or Second Life.

 

To everyone tagged, remember that once you do the shoot from the city, you must tag 10 names that you would also like to see do this challenge and use the hashtag #NoshsHoodChallenge3

Just a disclaimer. This is not a contest. It is simply a challenge for anyone to use my parcel in their photography as they see fit. Use any creative tactics you choose.

 

PS. The images shown on this post are pictures taken from the city block as examples of what my parcel looks like. I will post them all individually soon as examples of shoots done at my parcel.

 

PPS. I want to also add that while this challenge has officially started today, the city parcel itself is not yet completed. I am still working on adding small touches and details to make the parcel stand out. You may find empty rooms in the parcel but I will work on filling them up as soon as possible. Please excuse the otherwise unfinished and unorganized look of my city block.

 

Good luck to all those that choose to participate in the challenge. I am looking to see your creativity on display within the city block.

 

Love,

 

Noshinima Midas ;)

A section of Challenger’s fuselage on display at the ‘Forever Remembered’ memorial Exhibit Honoring Challenger and Columbia at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida.

 

It is a very moving memorial, as you enter you pass displays for each of the crew members with some personal items and information on them. The recovered section of Challenger and windshield of Columbia are display in a darkened separate room.

 

On a technical note I took this hand held with a Sony RX100M3 using the Multi-frame Noise Reduction mode (the camera takes multiple shots at a high fps and then combines them to reduce noise). It is a nice feature and I used it often in low light situations (caveats are that your subject can't be moving and you only get a jpg for output).

2024 Weekly Alphabet Challenge 38/52 ~ Lavender

 

Just enough Lavender in the garden for this shot.

 

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated

This M.I.T sweatshirt is something I can date back to at least the age of 15. It is pretty battered and holey. It has all kind of stains, including one from a pretty bad nose bleed I had when I was in college.

 

I focused a lot of my energy as a young adult on getting into a really good college, but then changed mymind...

 

This is the descendant of a Harvard sweatshirt I had that belonged to a friend of mine who passed away. It was stolen from my workplace when I was 14, so I decided to replace it with M.I.T. I was probably watching a little bit too much Good Will Hunting at the time.

 

It's very comfy, and this challenge is a good excuse to wear it today.

Week#123 - Before & After - I love reflections. This was taken at McLaren's Falls in Tauranga awhile back while shooting fall/autumn photos and I have used the resulting photo in another recent challenge. I obviously turned the photo upside down first then I worked in PSE15 using the b&w newspaper treatment and posterized it to enhance it in order to create an illusion, which is always such fun for me. I do like to simply create, when I have the time!!

When I saw this man I felt that he has been through many years of hard work and problems, his eyes were full of sadness and dispair, too sad to even cry.

He was in Souq Wagef looking for people who want their bags to be carried so they tip him. I felt very heart broken and it made me realize how privileged many of us are and all the things we have we take for granted.

They are a challenge for aspiring macro-photographers, so I had to have one. With some patience you’ll find them on a leaf somewhere not to wet. And then the real challenge begins, finding one that stays in focus. A great sport I thought.

Weekly Theme Challenge ~ Earrings

 

When my son was 10 he went on a school residential trip to North Yorkshire. One day they visited Skipton Castle where he bought me a pair of earrings, from the gift shop, depicting the entrance to the castle.

He was so excited to give them to me and I was pleased that he had thought about me enough to buy a present, the only problem being that I didn't have pieced ears.

I went out and got my ears pierced specially so that I could wear the earrings!

They are now safely packed away with other special and precious items from my son.

 

Stay safe and well everyone.

 

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated
